*They imposed new restrictions one day before my scheduled withdrawal — I held on for months, but no longer*
I have been a FundedNext customer since 2025. In the early months, the firm offered discounts to encourage me to purchase a second account, and I accepted in good faith. I traded within a 1–1.5% risk band, respecting their rules. At a certain point I had 1 live and 1 phase account.
One day before my scheduled withdrawal, the firm imposed a new set of restrictions on me under the name "Disciplined Trader Program." If I did not accept these restrictions, I would not be able to withdraw my pending payout. I had no real choice but to accept every condition. Maximum risk-at-a-time capped at 1%, mandatory stop-loss, 30% margin limit, ban on trading during high-impact news — and most importantly, all of this applied profile-wide, including all my future accounts.
The reason given was not even a rule violation. The firm explicitly stated, in writing: "not due to any rule violation or alleged misuse." The actual reason was vague: a "behavioral and statistical review of past trading data." Which behavior? Which threshold? Not stated. I was simply told what restrictions would now apply.
I tried the constructive route. I sent a respectful, professional letter requesting a manual review or even a live conversation. I explicitly stated that I accepted the rules, and that I was willing to maintain a 1% risk cap even if the restrictions were lifted. The reply was a categorical door-shut: no negotiation, no individual exception, no condition under which the guidelines would change. Not the tone of a single staff member — an institutional-level closure.
I held on for months. My account did not blow up; I did not hit drawdown — meaning I did not exit the system due to any trader error. But trading under these restrictions was practically impossible; at some point I stopped using the account. Even when I lost my live account during this period, I tried to continue with the firm. For months I endured a bad experience, because I was hoping for a constructive resolution.
Recently, a single position that briefly exceeded the 1% cap was used as the basis for: full confiscation of the profit I had earned, an "official warning," a notice that my account was now under "stricter monitoring," and a statement that the next step would cut my reward share in half and ultimately close my account. Bundled with this notification was a separate document reminding me of my confidentiality obligations — a warning, with the threat of legal action, telling me not to share this experience. Active pressure to keep me silent.
I can't take it anymore, which is why I'm writing this. *If you are considering buying a 2nd or 3rd account from FundedNext*, think about this first: the moment you accumulate accounts and become fully invested, you fall under the scope of a profile-wide disciplinary program. Once you are in, the exit path is controlled by the firm, not by you. Your pending payouts become leverage. Your request for a manual review is met with "no negotiation, no exception." You spend months trying to hold on because you assume the relationship you started in good faith can be repaired. In the end, you either blow your account up — or, like me, you walk away by your own choice.
I am writing this so that someone else does not walk the same path. It was the worst experience I've had. I have the evidence and full record of the process; I can present them if needed.
